Frequently Asked Questions

How many characters should my password be?

Security experts recommend 8 characters as the minimum, with 12 characters or more for important accounts. PassCraft lets you generate passwords from 8 to 12 characters (or any length you choose) in seconds.

Is an online password generator safe to use?

PassCraft is safe because it runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Unlike other tools, your passwords are generated locally and never transmitted, stored, or logged on any server.

What's the difference between an 8-character and 12-character password?

A 12-character random password is approximately 500,000 times stronger than an 8-character one due to the exponential increase in possible combinations. For most accounts today, 12 characters is the recommended minimum.

Why PassCraft Uses Cryptographic Security

PassCraft generates secure passwords using the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), the same cryptographic standard trusted by security professionals worldwide. Unlike Math.random(), which produces pseudo-random numbers (predictable once seeded), the Web Crypto API generates truly random bytes directly from your operating system's entropy source. This means each password generated by PassCraft is cryptographically secure and suitable for any account, from social media to banking.

Your passwords are generated entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server. PassCraft never logs, stores, or transmits your passwords anywhere. Close your browser and your password history is completely erased.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the generated passwords truly random?

Yes. PassCraft uses crypto.getRandomValues() from the Web Crypto API, which provides cryptographically secure randomness. This is significantly more secure than Math.random() and is suitable for security-sensitive applications.

Does PassCraft store my passwords?

No. Passwords are only kept in your browser's memory for the session history feature. They are never sent to any server, never logged, and are permanently deleted when you close the tab.

What is the "Exclude Ambiguous" option?

This removes characters that look similar in certain fonts — like 0 (zero) and O (letter O), or 1 (one) and l (lowercase L) and I (uppercase I). Useful when passwords will be read and typed manually.

What length password should I use?

For most accounts, 12-16 characters is an excellent balance of security and manageability. For master passwords or high-security accounts, use 20-32 characters. The longer the better — length is the single most important factor in password strength.

Can I generate passwords without symbols?

Yes. Toggle off the Symbols option. Some older systems don't accept special characters in passwords. PassCraft works with any combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

What is the bulk password generator for?

The bulk generator creates multiple unique passwords at once. Useful for provisioning multiple accounts, setting up team credentials, or any situation where you need several strong passwords simultaneously.

How do I safely store my generated passwords?

Use a reputable password manager like Bitwarden (free, open source), 1Password, or LastPass. Never store passwords in plain text files, spreadsheets, or notes apps. Password managers encrypt your vault and auto-fill credentials securely.
